The correct answer is A. Trucks.

Explanation:

To think about transport is to think of trucks. Ground transportation is omnipresent in our lives and roads and trucks are its backbone. But ground transportation has many different forms, which translates into very different types of vehicles. Depending on the type of merchandise to be transported, the dimensions or structure of the vehicle, we must choose the one that best suits our needs.

In land transport, the shape and equipment of trucks make them more appropriate for some types of shipments or materials.

Canvas truck (or tauliner) : This type of trailer is the most common and its semi-trailer is covered by the sides and above with tarps, which can be removed. This allows you to be very comfortable for loading and unloading and can be adapted to a large number of materials, as well as being suitable for transporting products that are difficult to load.

Open platform : In this case the platform where the load goes is open (although it may be partially covered by the sides depending on the merchandise and the possibility that it moves). Although it also offers many options, it is usually used for heavy goods, construction, etc.

Refrigerators : As the name implies, refrigerators are the trucks in charge of transporting the merchandise to be transported refrigerated by land. Depending on whether they have cold generation systems or only insulation with the outside they can be refrigerators, refrigerated or isothermal. Food is the most common customer of this type of vehicles.

Although they are less frequent, there are also calorific trucks to keep the temperature above a certain number of degrees.

Tank : Very common ADR merchandise, tanks are used to transport liquid, gaseous and chemical products, which have particular safety requirements.

Closed : closed trucks, as opposed to tarpaulins, have a rigid structure in the cargo compartment. This means that they can only be loaded from the rear, while the canvas ones can also be loaded from the sides. They are vehicles commonly used for urban delivery and parcel delivery, although there are also closed box trailers.

Car holder : These trucks are specifically designed for land car transport. There are two models of car carriers: the open, which is the most common, and the closed. The latter does not allow vehicles to be seen from outside and is sometimes used to transport the most expensive cars.

Cage Truck : Cage trucks are used to transport live animals. To do this, they have part of the sides or roof open so that air reaches the animals and there is sufficient ventilation.

Containers : The containers are watertight cargo structures, which allows them to protect the merchandise from the weather. They are used for multimodal transport and to facilitate loading and unloading of container ships.

The infinity of materials to transport makes the variety of trucks continue and is very long: hopper (often used for earthmoving), stakes (log transport, among others), concrete mixer, armored (money movements), vehicles special for heavy machinery and a long etcetera.
